Off to the rainforest!

div>So, not that any of you care that much about the classroom theme each week, but I think it's fun! So, this week we are talking about the rainforest and we decorated our dramatic play area like a rainforest! I think it looks pretty cool! Here are some fun pics!

This is our Great Kapok Tree with vines and flowers. Quite a work of art if I do say so myself! :)

The mosquito net tent (so the kids don't get malaria) :) Notice the creepy crawlies on the table??


The overall view with a cave and all!

We (my co-teacher and I) spent our morning making this set up and we think it turned out pretty cool!

Valentines Day

This Valentine's Day we decided to take a day off from doing anything "work" related...which is difficult when you live in a house that is surrounded by projects that could be done! :) We had a relaxing morning with nowhere to go and I even got pink, heart pancakes served to me in bed! :) A nice way to wake up I'd say!

It took us quite a while to decide what to do on our day where we weren't going to "do" anything. After much (and I do mean much!) deliberating, we finally decided to go check out the rock wall at University of Idaho which we heard was nice. Unfortunately I didn't think to bring the camera, but it was quite a wall! One part was like 50 feet tall! It was very fun and inexpensive which is always a plus! (And we got a workout no less!)


We had already decided to do dinner at home (it's cheaper!) so we came home and got dressed up just for fun! Eric has been trying to convince me to put on my wedding dress again for about a year now, so I finally gave in. He finished making the dinner (most of it was crockpot dinner) while I made the table look "fancy"...I couldn't get my dress dirty! :) It was a very delicious dinner and made for a relaxing evening! Here are a few pictures!

After dinner we watched the movie "Fireproof". It doesn't have the greatest acting, but really it was a pretty good movie that had a good message and story. All in all, it was a good day!
